The trial of lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia and university professor Antonio Pedro Dores, for defamation of former PJ inspector Goncalo Amaral, was today postponed again, until April 18, said a source close to the process.

 

That is according to what reporters were told by the lawyer of Antonio Pedro Dores, the only one involved in the process to appear in court; Goncalo Amaral asked to be heard through videoconferencing.

 

Also absent was the lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia, who lives in Funchal, who made the same application [as Dores] to the Court of Faro, forcing the trial to be postponed for the second time.

 

The former inspector, who investigated the disappearance of Joana, the daughter of Leonor Cipriano, is suing both because they publicly alluded to the alleged torture that Leonor Cipriano was a target of during the Joana case's questioning stage.

 

Aragao Correia, lawyer to Leonor Cipriano, alleges that the Portuguese courts have already decided that it has been proved that his client was tortured, yet the Public Ministry (MP) continues to uphold the accusation in the defamation lawsuit that Goncalo Amaral has filed.

 

The trial should have begun in February, but pending an appeal brought by Antonio Pedro Dores, it was postponed to today.
